Not a serious bid. Rags are just embarrassing themselves.
£30m plus add-ons would be a record incoming deal for Man Utd.Blue Haze said:Not a serious bid. Rags are just embarrassing themselves.

So - Barca have received a £25 million bid for Fabregas, and have very publically come out and released a statement indicating that the player wants to stay, and that he is 'untransferable' - and we're seriously expected to believe that an extra £5 million is going to change that situation.
In terms of the fees being paid for players this summer, and over recent years, £5 million is not a great sum any more - certainly not enough to make a Club completely change their stance on one of their key players.
And United know this. You have to ask yourself why they are constantly briefing the press over the bids they are making for Fabregas, whilst they didn't do so with either Thiago or with their Baines bid. Its because this whole Fabregas fiasco is a marketing and publicity gimmick designed at appeasing their gullible, thick as pig shit fans and their US Shareholders - nothing more.
I imagine they are quite quietly going about the business of trying to sign Fellaini and Baines, whilst gobbing off to the world about their audacious, game changing £5 million improved bid which Barca will find it impossible to refuse.
Laughable from the Rags. If they're serious about convincing a Club to sell a player they want to keep - act like it and make them a genuinely game-changing offer - this bid certainly does not qualify as being at that level. The fact they they aren't doing this tells you everything you need to know about the intention of this bid.
They are a shambles this summer - the effect of losing the quality of both Ferguson and Gill in one go, and replacing them with dog average nonentities like Moyes and Woodward, is clear for all to see!
